As if I didn’t have anything else to do but play around with something that I’m guessing is almost completely worthless, you can now check out the AgWired Frappr Map. What is it? I’m not really sure. Just another experiment in internet social communication.

Is Email Spam Increasing or Decreasing
I’m curious if you’d agree with the FTC that email spam is levelling off or actually declining.
